MT8 Installation
Location
Locate the pump as close to the supply source as possible.
Install the pump system in a lighted clean space where it will be
easy to inspect and maintain.
Motor and Controller
The MT Series pump shaft can rotate in either direction, therefore
direction of motor shaft rotation is not critical.
When flow rate is determined by motor speed, it is controlled
using an inverter duty constant torque motor and VFD. Flow
rate functions can also be easily controlled using the Hydra-Cell
Control Freak and appropriate motor or by selecting the manual
adjust option.
Accessories
Consult installation drawing below for typical metering fluid
system components. Contact Wanner Engineering or the
distributor in your area for more details.
Important Precautions
Adequate Fluid Supply.
To avoid cavitation and premature
pump failure, be sure that the pump will have an adequate fluid
supply and that the inlet line will not be obstructed.
Positive Displacement.
This is a positive-displacement pump.
Although the MT Series pump is equipped with the patented
Diaphragm Position Control and internal relief system, it is
recommended that an external pressure relief valve be installed
downstream of the pump to avoid severe system damage if
the discharge line ever becomes blocked.
Safety Guards.
Follow all codes and regulations regarding
installation and operation of the pumping system.
Shut-Off Valves.
Never install shut-off valves between the
pump and discharge pressure regulator or in the regulator
bypass line.
Consult the Factory in the following situations:
• Extreme temperature applications (above 160°F or below
40°F)
• Ambient temperatures (above 110°F)
• Pressure feeding of pumps
• Viscous or abrasive fluid applications
• Chemical compatibility problems
